PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The goal of the University of Maryland BaltImore Life Science Discovery Accelerator (UM-BILD) is to create a new NIH Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (REACH) program that serves as a development engine to build the life science economy in West Baltimore and Greater Baltimore and to train one of the most diverse biomedical and entrepreneurial workforces in the US. Underrepresented minorities (URM) making up 34% of the population, URMs comprise only 15% of PhD graduates and 4% of tenured faculty positions in medical schools. Diversity amongst venture-backed founders is even less. This is in the face of evidence that increased workforce diversity increases productivity, financial performance, and employee satisfaction. UM-BILD will be formed from a partnership with University of Maryland Baltimore (UMB), University Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) (a Minority Serving Institution), University of Maryland College Park, Morgan State University (a Historically Black College/University (HBCU)), Blackbird Laboratories ($100MIL life science institute/incubator), and the Maryland Innovation Initiative (MII). All Baltimore universities and life science innovators will have access to hub expertise, resources, and networking. UM-BILD will directly address the need for increased biomedical and startup workforce diversity leveraging existing, successful initiatives at UMSOM and UMBC. UM-BILD will foster life science industry growth of the demographically diverse (28% African American and 7% Hispanic) Baltimore Region. UM-BILD will embrace existing partner programmatic efforts to increase biomedical workforce diversity; as well as direct engagement with HBCU’s and Minority serving institutions. UM-BILD will solicit, identify, and develop early-stage life science platforms and projects over the entire spectrum of technology types. UM-BILD will have three specific aims: Aim 1: Provide seed investment and development resources for 11 early-stage technology projects teams per year enhanced by a $5 million non-federal match funds through partner institutions and MII. Technologies will receive milestone gated investments of up to $200,000 and access to unique biomedical development facilities at UMB and UMBC to serve as a dedicated incubator. Aim 2: Train a diverse biomedical and innovation workforce from elite scientists and innovators. We will offer a dedicated entrepreneurial, project management, and business development curriculum that will build upon on-going biomedical workforce diversification programs at UMB and UMBC, and the Baltimore region in general, to allow for a unique cohort of newly trained life science entrepreneurs, many from URM backgrounds. Aim 3: Create new companies ready to apply for federal SBIR/STTR awards and raise private capital to grow the life science economy in Baltimore. UM-BILD will provide services in company formation, training in obtaining federal innovation grants; connections to investors seeking early-stage life science opportunities (see letters of support); and subsidized space in Baltimore Bioparks.

项目摘要/摘要 马里兰州巴尔的摩分校生命科学发现加速器（UM-Bild）的目标是创建一个 新的NIH研究评估和商业化集线器（REACH）计划 引擎建设西巴尔的摩和大巴尔的摩的生命科学经济 潜水员在美国的生物医学和企业家劳动力。代表性不足的少数民族（URM）组成 URMS只有34％的人口，仅占15％的博士学位毕业生和4％的终身教师职位 医学院。以风险投资支持的创始人的多样性甚至更少。面对证据 增加劳动力多样性会提高生产力，财务绩效和员工满意度。 um-bild 将由马里兰大学马里兰州马里兰州大学（UMB）的合作伙伴关系 马里兰州巴尔的摩县（UMBC）（UMBC）（UMBC）（UMBC）（少数派服务机构）的医学（UMSOM） 马里兰州大学公园，摩根州立大学（历史悠久的黑人学院/大学（HBCU）），黑鸟 实验室（1亿美元的生命科学研究所/孵化器）和马里兰州的创新计划（MII）。所有巴尔的摩 大学和生命科学创新者将有能力获得集线器专业知识，资源和网络。 um-bild 将直接满足增加生物医学和启动劳动力多样性的需求， 在UMSOM和UMBC的成功举措。 UM-Bild将促进生命科学行业的增长 巴尔的摩地区的人口统计学分校（28％的非裔美国人和7％的西班牙裔）。 UM-Bild会拥抱 现有的合作伙伴计划努力，以增加生物医学劳动力多样性；以及直接参与 与HBCU和少数民族服务机构一起。 UM-Bild将征求，识别和发展早期生活科学 整个技术类型的平台和项目。 UM-Bild将有三个特定的目标：目标 1：每年为11个早期技术项目团队提供种子投资和开发资源 通过合作伙伴机构和MII提供了500万美元的非联邦比赛资金，增强了。技术将收到 里程碑式的门票高达20万美元，并获得UMB独特的生物医学开发设施 和UMBC充当专用的孵化器。目标2：培训潜水员的生物医学和创新劳动力 精英科学家和创新者。我们将提供专门的企业家，项目管理和业务 开发课程将基于UMB和 UMBC和巴尔的摩地区一般，允许独特的新训练的生活科学队列 企业家，许多来自URM背景。目标3：创建准备申请联邦的新公司 SBIR/STTR奖励并筹集私人资本，以发展巴尔的摩的生命科学经济。 UM-Bild将提供 公司成立的服务，获得联邦创新赠款的培训；与寻求投资者的联系 早期生活科学机会（请参阅支持信）；和巴尔的摩生物公园的补贴空间。
